I bought a Hitachi PJ-TX100 projector around august last year. It has recently developed a patch of reddy pink colour distortion when displaying a white screen which I think is probably due to dust or dirt accumulating in the projector rather than a faulty component.

Please can anyone tell me if there is any way to test which part of the projector is faulty, I am hoping it's something nice and easy like the bulb!

I have a feeling that when I went away on holiday my little brother who was house sitting was smoking in the room with the projector so I am wondering if the smoke has got in there.

OK, nice one. A loan unit is part of the warranty but it may not be a TX100.
Hitachi haven't exactly covered themselves in glory on this forum regarding their after sales service, but as ever perhaps we tend to only hear about the horror stories and in many cases they do an OK job.
Let's hope so!...PJ

A man's life in these parts often depends on a mere scrap of information.

Not so happy now as they have said that the loan unit doesnt apply to the PJTX100 unit!

Can anyone confirm that this is the case if they have had to send theirs back?

Thanks,

Richard.

Hmm. Time to read the smallprint on your warranty. I think I recall it mentioning a loan unit, but can't confirm until this evening. What i meant in my previous post is that you may not get a TX100 as a loan unit. I'm fairly sure other TX100 owners have had a loan unit of some kind though - usually a TX10.
